Which do you feel more comfortable doing: what is right or what is correct?

Is it safer to always try to do what is right or what is correct? Doing what is correct may always get the admiration of the society and may leave you paranoid and mostly uncomfortable. However, ignoring societal norms for correctness and doing what you believe is prompted by the need or situation at hand (what is right) may earn you societal scorn and self satisfaction that you're doing what is necessary. Would you, or do you feel more comfortable doing what society requires rather than what you think is necessary?
